Baby Deuce grows up

This is my riding journal. It is meant to help document the
training of my young horse Deuce. I'm teaching him all about dressage,
but he teaches me so much too!

Growing Pains

I haven't posted in a while I know. The weather has not been as nice and I've been going out to the barn only on weekends recently. This past weekend Deuce was being naughty on the longe. He kept trying to switch directions and run around me like crazy. I was getting after him, obviously, then he tripped and fell down and was limping for a little bit. I felt bad for him, but I was kind of glad he had a fall because Ifigured he would realize his naughtiness wasn't getting im anywhere.

Well I went out again this evening and it must have worked because he was great on the longe. I didn't push him too hard in case he was still a little sore, but if he was it was not affecting his movement at all. Hopefully he will continue his good behavior because I really want to start long lining him soon.

I'll post a new picture soon....he's getting big!
